Welding is an indispensable process in almost every industry. Various techniques are used to melt and fuse metals, steel and alloys.
Arc welding uses the heat generated by an electric arc struck between an electrode and a workpiece to melt and fuse the metal in the joint area. This is the most widely used fusion-based joining process in the industry today.
However, laser welding is growing in popularity, especially in the automotive industry and in other industries such as microelectronics and shipbuilding. This involves focusing a laser beam onto a workpiece by a set of mirrors. When the laser beam moves relative to the workpiece, the energy from the focused laser beam melts the metal, creating a joint.
In all welding processes, shielding and process gases, their exact composition and degree of purity play a decisive role in influencing the quality and productivity of the weld.
